@CBove1 @pompei79 #Juba has to flee the Flavian emperor #Domitian in the 1st book of the #RomanQuests but he & a British girl named #Bouda return in time to witness his bloody assassination in the 4th & final book of this middle grade series... #EscapeFromRome #ReturnToRome https://t.co/OIcCpUeu44
@lcbailes @Caecilius_CLC @LEJenksBrown @pompei79 @MairLloyd The bit that made me chuckle was the faux Latin. 😁 Ur?

Buried in one of Londinium's cemeteries in two coffins (lead & stone), the grave-goods of this high-class Roman woman from late 4th c AD included Chinese silk, purple wool, gold thread & rare glass perfume flasks! https://t.co/74GOByAWsF #SpitalfieldsWoman

So I absolutely did NOT steal the opening line 'Hey, Big Nose!' from Monty Python, (tho I'm not against the odd tribute to my fave books & films) 😁 Graffiti shows Pompeian freedman Amarantus with a giant schnozz! #BigNose #Amarantus #MontyPython #schnozz #Yiddish #LifeOfBrian
A few elements that went into the making of one of the many characters in our new #Pompeii novel, Amarantus & his Neighbourhood. Blond Quintus Mestrius Maximus (circled) perfumer & undertaker has pride of place on the fab cover, standing next to #Amarantus! (Note his ring stamp!)
Just used my shiny new @audibleuk credit to buy Joanna Glen's new book, #AllMyMothers. You can also get it on Kindle here: https://t.co/4LFgi9yd3o 🍊💚

@PragmaticMan4U I always thought Jesus might have looked like this. 🙂
Romans didn't know about invisible bacteria or viruses so they attributed many diseases to invisible demons & evil spirits... not so foolish really! https://t.co/uIeKFwzqJj
(Other diseases caused by imbalance of the humours.)
